Touted as the most ambitious national research topic since the Sputnik days, Nanotechnology has spurred considerable national and international interest across many walks of life - from ordinary citizens to politicians, and from scientists to engineers. Remarkable advances have been made in the last decade in the science of nanoscale structures, exotic nano-phenomena and proof-of-concept device systems. However, in order to truly harness the great potential of "nano-somethings", it is absolutely imperative to translate advances in "Nanoscience" into viable "Nanotechnology". That bridge between Nanoscience and Nanotechnology is undoubtedly "Nanoengineering" which holds the key to successful development of various Nanotechnologies - from novel paradigms in electronics, mechanics to biodiagnostics and therapeutics, just to name a few.

The ASME Nano Training Bootcamp is specifically organized to offer a detailed and tutorial-based account of advances in fundamentals related to Nanoscience in a wide variety of fields, and prospects for translating these advances into useful Nanotechnologies. The participants will be challenged with open-ended questions and opportunities in engineering nanosystems. Given by experts in academia and industry, the ASME Nano Training Bootcamp will provide intense sessions on characterization, solids and devices, societal impact, and fluids/synthesis/devices. Participants will enjoy not only extensive and interactive coverage of significant topics in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology but will also be offered a broad overview of instrumentation, techniques and facilities essential to complement classroom lectures.
